Once the darling of the left, Google is rapidly losing the affection of American progressives. Rather than a force for the good, Google?s enormous power and influence, particularly over search, is making more and more people nervous about its real intent. Most of all, it is Google?s lack of transparency ? its self-evident secrecy rather than its openness - that is creeping many people (including myself) out. Siva Vaidhyanathan is one of America?s most influential new media scholars and the author of Copyrights and Copywrongs and The Anarchist in the Library. In his important new book, The Googlization of Everything (And Why We Should Worry), Vaidhyanathan takes on the power of Google and reveals why we should be worried about the company?s monopolization of search and its imperial control of the web.
